My 10 yro granddaughter went to snack bar tonight to purchase a churro. Seeing her mom at stores & restaurants saying keep the change My granddaughter thought she would do the same & show a bit of being a grown up. Well, when my granddaughter comes back to truck with NONE OF HER MONEY & tells me what she said I was FURIOUS!! The girl at the register ACTUALLY KEPT HER MONEY THAT WAS EXTRA, $1.75!!! Now, totally no big deal if a few pennies maybe nickle or dime but $1.75!! YES!! I GOT HER MONEY BACK!!! The cashier, maybe 16yro literally had NO COMMON SENSE to not take this 10year olds EXTRA money! She put it to the SIDE inside the register. WHY DID YOU TAKE IT AT ALL?? WHY DID YOU PUT IT TO THE SIDE INSIDE THE REGISTER?? WHERE is proper training in jobs dealing with the PUBLIC these days? I asked to speak to her supervisor WHOM, BY THE WAY, must have been 16-18 herself!! The oldest person I saw that worked there tonight was a snack bar worker maybe in her 30s that went to the back room & didnt help her co-worker in the slightest with this situation. From first entering the drive in tonight at the ticket booth, this girl worker was all tongue tied & confused. I was in line for screen 2-asked her is this the side for Nut job 2? STOP TALKING GIBBERISH long enough to hear me the FIRST TIME ask if Im in the correct lane without repeating myself at which her response was I sell them all day long. WHAT? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? I repeated myself about correct side for movie we chose to see...yeah, this is the right side. I count out the correct amount of change (quarters) & she is like in loopy land!!! I ask for a glow light, hand her the $1.00 & she says there are no strings for it. HOW is it suppose to be worn as a necklace if you have no string THAT COMES WITH THEM IN PACKAGING!!!

This place needs some serious investing. They havent done a thing to improve the experience, and the lights from the street distract you from the movie you are trying to watch. People park however they want, sideways, out of the white parking lines etc. The place is now in a very low income are and someone was blaring mariachi music that could be heard from blocks away. I love the concept my kids enjoy it, but I feel uneasy. Its filthy, the fence is falling apart and the bathrooms stink really bad. If I owned it, I would put it in Spanish Springs in the hills where there are no homes and no lights.

Cool place for a relaxing date night. My boyfriend and I popped down the tailgate of the truck and brought a couple blankets & snacks for a double feature. Movie selections are usually pretty good & theres always a showing after dark but not too late. The late shows are very late (start time after 11pm). The radio-audio usually is fine but can be fuzzy at times. Overall, a easy way to catch up on whats coming out without dropping the big bucks by going to a indoor theater.

Its a decent drive in theater. Despite being in a very sketchy neighborhood, once youre inside the walls, things get better. The theater has digital projection, snack pricing is still high, but not outrageous, since they have to compete with whatever you bring in your car. If you want an outdoor cinema experience, its not as bad as it looks on the outside.

This is a great place to casually watch movies, especially with kids. The ticket prices are cheaper than theaters, and you can bring your own food (although I usually get popcorn there). When I was a kid going here I would usually fall asleep in the middle of the second movie (you get to see two movies per ticket) while my parents watched it.

Great place to watch double feature movies while in the comfort of your own car. Or pull out blankets and chairs and relax with family. Bring your own food or grab something at the snack bar. Theres also a flea market during the weekend where you can find cool things at great prices than at a big box electronics store.

Had to drive around to multiple screens because the employees directing traffic & selling tickets gave wrong info on which screens were playing the movies listed on the website. Also food stand very disorganized when placing orders. Needs management to come in & make the place run smoother.

The customer service at the concession stand was great... Until they tell you you cant use your coupon, after they told you you could, all because you cant print it. Popcorn was great. No refills on drinks.... Hotdogs were not good at all. Everything else was great!

I heard on radio and promotional sites the gates open at 630 pm, no! 825 pm is when they opened. It says each movie has its own lane, nope! Everyone goes thru two lanes and have go around cones.. but after that it was pretty good my daughter enjoyed herself...

This is an awful place to have a drive in theatre. You have constant lound cars from the freeway and street, loud planes flying over every 5 minutes, and street lights right behind the screens that make it quite miserable to watch the movie. Im glad its over

Great place to watch a current movie on the "Big Screen" from the comfort of your car. Tune in the sound on your car FM and its all good. Basic movie foods offered, restrooms were clean, the employees were very nice and really helpful and accomodating.

Awesome family experience, and their technology is much better in that you can pay with a credit card, the screen is bright enough, and the radio broadcast is strong enough to hear from blocks away (meaning you wont hear static if youre in their lot).

It was not quite what I expected. Our experience there was not horrible, but I was a little annoyed about the bright lights behind the screen, and the fact that planes were frequently passing close by (probably coming in to land at the airport).

Christian Friedrich

Far surpassed expectations. Saw a double feature on screen 3. Very clear movie on the screen and audio transmission was clear and crisp as well with no interference. Cant beat the price and the fact that they were new movies!

You need to repave the area and repaint the parking spots! You do need to have security do walk thru and keep people from taking more than one spot....also lawn chairs should be banned! I almost ran over a few people!

Bishop Transport

Yes ... much like a time machine this place is like a step back in time. I was reminded of so many childhood memories of being at the drive in when I was here. I hope them the best for years to come.

This is one of a vanishing breed. They have digital movies, sound as good as your cars sound system, snacks, and at least 2 free movie nights a year. Add to that a weekend flea market...

Great place to go with the family, even the really little ones! Kids love the movies and permission to stay up late! Great place to make fun memories with the family or some good friends.

Nice place a lot of people show up here. They usually feature four different movies simultaneously so its kind of cool with the four big outdoor projection screens running at once.
